Overview

• Auburn visits Baylor on Friday at 7 p.m. CT on FOX, with BetMGM listing the Tigers as a slight favorite.
• Hugh Freeze said the roster is largely available, noting Eric Singleton Jr. is close to 100% and that freshmen Hollis Davidson III and Antonio Coleman are suspended for the game.
• Freeze said kicker Alex McPherson remains a game-time decision as he undergoes testing, with Towns McGough first in line and Connor Gibbs next if needed.
• Baylor’s Dave Aranda indicated junior safety Carl Williams IV is unlikely to play and highlighted Jackson Arnold’s scrambling and Auburn’s receivers as focal challenges.
• It will be Auburn’s first true road season opener in 23 years and the program’s first trip to Waco since the mid-1970s.
